Statement on Boston Bombing

4/16/2013

We grieve with families who lost loved ones in the Boston Marathon bombings. And we fervently pray for those left behind dealing with serious injuries, physical and mental.

We are infinitely grateful for persons on the scene who did all they could to bring healing, wholeness and support to those injured along with their concerned families. Once again, we do not understand the violence and the death of the moment. Yet, we care deeply for those whom we do not know.

As your Bishop, I ask every congregation to lift our brothers and sisters in special prayer this Sunday.
